QTP headers owners step in please help .........
QTP headers owners step in please help ......... Ive had my 1 3/4 heards in for a few months and i check them everyone in awhile to see how there doing and i got in today and ont he drivers side the #1 tube is rubbing and grinding on the stearing arm. So i took the y-pipe off to see if that would lessen the load of the headers and it didnt do a dam thing. I was wondering how much room to have between the #1 tube and the stearing arm and i was thinking of adjusting the stearing arm outward to gain that extra room? Im really racking my head on this one. I called QTP and they said to losen them and pick up the header and move it up since there some "play" in the bolt holes but there isnt any "play" in them so if some one could help me out on my delema please respond.............

Heres what i think happened i had the drivers side head taked off and the mechanic that took it off and put on was bitching about how the header we in so i think when he went back into install the header he cheeted and mover the stearing arm to make room and didnt put it int he proper was which is why i think its rubbing bad which is why i think i have a hell of a vibration in the wheel so ive been looking through the mauals an cant find anthign on adjusting the stearing arm tell me what you guys think?

Yeah the steering wheel is vibrating because the header is against the steering column. The shop guys had to massage to header in order to get it to fit without the clearance issues. Oh and my steering wheel stopped vibrating too. 
I posted a thread about this before.
